[Zope-dev] Notes on a Zope IDE

[Johan Carlsson]

Hi Eron,
I am doing a HTML-editor/Content Manager using components 
from Internet Explorer 5.
I have just looked at the possibilities to use XML-RPC to 
manage the interaction between Zope and IE5 (including any
application using the IE5 components) and my conclusion
so far is that there's a need for a Zope API for this. 

Making the manage_-API accessible trough XML-RPC (and any other 
programmatic way) would probably be a good start.
At the moment many (perhaps all) of the manage_ method return
HTML when called via XML-RPC. Some functions return "cannot marshal 
objects" errors.

I would gladly take part in any development/discussion of this API.

Best Regards,
Johan Carlsson
